Opening the Tutorial Project
New Project To create a set of project and program files for the Perl Tutorial,
click here. You
will be prompted to specify the destination directory for the Perl Tutorial project
and associated files.
Existing Project If you have already made a working copy of the Perl Tutorial project and wish
to use that copy instead of creating a new working copy, select
File|Open|Project and navigate to the directory where you copied
the project. Open the file "perl_tutorial.kpf ". The files included
in the tutorial project are displayed in the
Project pane.
No files have been opened in the
Editor pane.
In the Projects pane, double click the files parse.pl , mailexport.txt
and mailexport.xml . These files will be opened in the Editor pane; a tab at the top of
the pane displays their file names.
- mailexport.txt This file was generated by exporting the contents of an email folder
(using the email program's own Export function) to a comma-delimited text file. Notice that the key to the file
contents are listed on the first line. The Perl program will use this line as a reference when parsing the email
messages.
- parse.pl This is the Perl program that will parse mailexport.txt and generate mailexport.xml.
- mailexport.xml This file was generated by parse.pl, using mailexport.txt as input.
When you run parse.pl (in Generating Output by Running the Program),
this file will be regenerated.
